On today's show author Luke Goebel discusses his novel Kill Dick, a fierce literary work fueled by personal loss and his own recovery from addiction. The conversation covers his survival of a harrowing car accident, his subsequent creative shift to the Southern California desert, and his mission to keep authentic literature alive by taking the reins of Tyrant Books.
Published by Red Hen Press, Kill Dick subverts traditional structure by having its protagonist, Susie Vogelman switch from writing in the first person to writing the novel in the third person. The resulting story is an expansive tour of Los Angeles that navigates identity, trauma, and secret societies. You can follow Goebel's work on Instagram at @LukeLikesGlue.
